Ruff in BCN – I Want It

We’ve been blessed by the fixie gods on this Wednesday! The long awaited Ruff Barcelona video just dropped and it’s easily the best fixed gear content I’ve consumed in 2025. This thing is packed with bangers front to back with a diverse crew including Matt Spencer, Corey San Agustin, Jackson Bradshaw, Juan Nieto, and Diego Valero. The creativity and style of this crew is unmatched and should inspire everyone to go out and ride your darn bike with your darn buds. Too many individual tricks to call out but I was stoked on just about every clip. Corey’s ender is nuts. WOW.

FIXATED FRAME FIRST LOOK

This week Fixated teased a first look at an upcoming “Vigorous” frame in development. We don’t have details yet, but the Euro scene is going to benefit heavily from a more local buying option. I’m excited to see more. Word is Ritchie’s building it this week, so stay tuned for that on the Fixated IG!

Corey San Agustin – Ruff 29er Bike Check

While in Texas I got a chance to corner Corey and force him to be in front of my camera so I could capture some pics of him and his one of a kind Ruff 29er build. This is one of the most talked about bikes in the scene, so I know I needed to get this one to the people. Full rundown after the jump!

Deacon Wong – Courttek Bike Check 2025

First of all, today is Deacon’s birthday. Go give him some bday love on his IG.

Second of all, Deacon’s Courttek build has changed a bunch throughout his time having it. Although we’ve shot pics of it already, it’s basically a completely different build now. So we got out to a good ol’ basketball court with our buddy Josh and snapped some pics! (Full set and details after the jump)

NEW RUFF BARS FIRST LOOK

Ruff recently announced that a new Ruff bar shape is currently out in the wild being tested by the team! While still keeping a 4-piece design, they take bend inspiration from the 2012 FGFS classic Machete Slayer bars but stepping them up with modern rise. Here’s what Jacob had to say about the forthcoming bars:

“We’ve received samples of some new 4 piece bars that the team is testing. After toiling over dimensions, we settled on two shapes. The lower offering maintains the GC bar box section with a nod to the classic Machete Slayers and their mellow bends. For the taller size, we took the inspiration direct from the Bob bars and refined to our preferred back sweep, up sweep, and width.

We’ll have both sizes available in chrome finish and ED black once they get the stamp of approval from our quality assurance department.

Go catch a session with a Ruff Rider and make sure to check them out! They are rolling in LA, Salt Lake City, Seattle, Bordeaux, and Tucson.”

I’ll report that I’ve received mine and am extremely excited to put them on my bike. Pics of my setup to come!

Farewell Courttek V1 Build

I’ve been riding this exact frame for nearly 3 years now. It’s technically the 2nd Master Courttek prototype and even has a special engraving on the bottom bracket with my name on it, which the production versions didn’t have. It’s time to say goodbye though.

My good friend Paul and I shot some final pics of the bike to commemorate it and put it to rest properly. I’m not usually that sentimental about my own bikes, but I’ve become really close with this one for probably obvious reasons. I never thought I’d have my name on a frame and I’m still blown away by the amount of people that wanted to buy a frame that had my name on it. Seriously big thank you to everyone who snagged one.

Why are we saying goodbye to it though? All that i’ll say for now is that it’s not because the frame is broken. RIP Courttek build, you served me very very well!
